Preparation

Preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F and butter a 24 cm/9.5 in springform pan.
Beat the farmer''s cheese with the sugar using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes, until smooth and slightly airy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each, then fold in the cornstarch, melted butter, lemon zest and vanilla.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, until the center is still slightly wobbly but the edges are set.
Turn off the oven and let the sernik cool inside with the door ajar for 1 hour: this slow cooling keeps the surface from cracking.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before unmolding and slicing.
